Steemit Open Mic Is About Building A Community Of Musicians On Steemit Not About Winning --- by @luzcypher
Special thanks to @verbal-d and @krystle for help judging the contest this week. Great job.
Steemit Open Mic is not about winning or losing, it's about building a connections on Steemit through music. Watching the collaborations happen online between musicians who played and met on Steemit Open Mic is very rewarding and many of the people who play and post earn some nice rewards for playing a song.
For many, it's easier to get some Steem in your tip jar by playing for Steemit Open Mic than it is to play music on the street.
Steemit Open Mic Trending Posts
Top 20 Trending Open Mic Posts
NOTE: Having a trending post is not how judges pick entries for their Top 5 weekly picks. Sometimes you will trend because of a variety of reasons. Congratulations! You don't need to win Open Mic to earn rewards and build your audience. As you can see, sometimes trending posts earn more than the contest rewards! You could trend by getting curated by other curation groups like @curie for example. The judges look for entertainment value which, of course, is very subjective and varies over time. Just keep playing and engaging with the community which is the whole point of Open Mic. If you love music, we love you.

Steemit Open Mic Semana 143 Or Or Recuerdos Al Olvido Original Song Or Or By Edwardstobia --- by @edwardstobia
Many people in this world are asleep, not knowing what they've sown they will reap, then maybe in the end they will weep, when the wind of death, their feet, it does sweeps... Your song is beyond 6 feet deep, the tension and self reflection and sombreness creep, and the souls that are lost pile up in a heap. Love can make us believe many things, allowing us to risk anything and everything, but it leaves many with a broken heart, bleeding red back and forth as a cherry swing. Drowning underwater in the shipwreck where you can barely breathe. The physical body hard at work to survive with aching bones, worn muscles and tearing sleeves. This original song of yours is one of my favourites, my poetic response is what I make of it, your singing is sublime, your playing is seasoned as thyme, you capture moments between time, and your emotions crumble the blurring lines. - @verbal-d
2nd Place
You won 20 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Semana 146 Lo Siento Cover --- by @origen1618
You sang this song with a lot of passion, it gave my ears much satisfaction, although I wished the volume of your entry was higher by many fractions, so we can all enjoy the beauty of your performance as it happens. I checked out the lyric translation, such is the battle of love relations, people get hurt, broken hearts are left gaping, and the future they built together ends up badly mishapen. You played the guitar well, and conviction you sell, your singing was the highlight in this story you tell. This entry you definitely nailed. - @verbal-d
Wow man I really enjoyed this performance so very much, you conveyed so much raw emotion - just a perfect performance of someone truly connected to the lyrics and meaning of the song, taking it to a pure place of beauty.
Your playing is just spot on, I haven't heard a single misplaced note - but you have also created a lot of movement and tempo changes throughout, adding to the complexity of the song and awesomeness of the overall performance.
Then there is your vocals, where you display amazing control over your range and the emotion conveyed through the tone and delivery - adding more with vocal gymnastics that act to enhance and entice, I was just hooked from the instant I heard it. - @krystle
3rd Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Open Mic Week 146 Breakable Original --- by @skycorridors
Beauty, although vain, is socially scalable, the soul, mind and heart aren't easily changeable, and our physical vessels we have been given are fragile and breakable, many feel alone, unworthy and un-datable, comparing ourselves to others who outwardly seem more favourable, our love for ourselves should be way stable, and the impact we make on others can be unmistakably traceable. Inadequacy can make you feel incapable, but realize that you are yourself unique and irreplaceable, your goals and dreams are attainable, and doors of opportunity and happiness are available. Our fears can either decimate or disintegrate all things as biodegradable. Bad memories aren't erasable but our hopes and confidence are definitely raise-able. Wisdom is not based on only things vocational, but what you can pull from within knowing yourself, is obtainable. Your entry and original song was sensational. - @verbal-d
I have been stoked when getting your entries of late, they have been so varied and unique - yet I am starting to get a feel for the type of artist you are and I have to say that I really hope you have a heap more songs stashed away.
I totally agree performing your own music is something that's really intense, on an emotional level just putting yourself out there - let alone the physical one if your like me and even when at home recording I still get nervous lol.
You're music is perfectly styled to accentuate your truly stunning vocals, they are just so crisp and clean - pure even... it adds an almost angelic/harmonic feel to the songs and make them feel even more unreal, just absolutely brilliant and hope to see more soon! - @krystle
4th Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Openmic Semana 146 Sin Arrepentimientos Jose Cabrera Original Esp Eng --- by @joseacabrerav
Your originals are full of wonder, a maze of ponderances for fools to wander, submersing us in poetic arts that just pull us under, the pools rush asunder, dual lusts of plunder, duels bust from hunters, rural jungle hunger, tusks of thunder, luscious suns ablaze above earth. You have a certain level of performance that can only be acquired naturally, your happiness, passion and content to share the gift of music comes sporadically, you inspire us as you are inspired in the moments that grip you drastically, and you ease into every song’s rhythm and map it with mastery. This entry is wonderfully executed, and far from a catastrophe. - @verbal-d
Your playing as always is spectacular, I don't believe I have ever heard you miss a note - and you do it all with such calm and grace, its refreshing and always entertaining to watch.
Then as always your brilliant vocals, you have a fantastic vocal range and control - you enhance songs by adding texture throughout and variety in your methods of delivery, choosing moments and emotions within the song to extend further.
Just an all round awesome performance, with amazing vocal variety and flare - love your work as always - @krystle
5th Place
You won 13 Steem
Steemit Openmic Week 146 Original Song Heart Of Our Earth Water By Danieldedosd2 --- by @danieldedosd2
Like water can your voice flow and fill the voids, we are indeed obligated, our duty as we’re employed, given the jobs to keep our earth pure and our waters clean with joy, songs like these are a gentle reminder, and do not annoy. We are the army of God’s people, the last convoy, the planet is not to be played with, it is not our toy. The next species lost could be in the air, on land, or even the fish in the sea, the Coy. We have to prevent with more strategies, tactics, methods and ploys. Is it harder to create and much easier to destroy, so we must teach the youth, every attentive girl and boy. Your beautiful voice shall reach the hearts and minds of our generations, this original is heartfelt and should be shared without hesitation. As we speak there are plastic landmasses in the ocean, toxic spills in the waters, and decaying life forms without motion. This song is a wake up call and more than a mere soft notion, that change requires action and right choices, much more than just wishful thinking and hopin’... - @verbal-d
